Creator: presenter not named. The video ends “HeyGen is free to try. The link is below”, so treat it as vendor-adjacent. Platform: YouTube. Skill level: operator, no camera crew needed.
A placement playbook for medical practices: seven short AI-avatar videos, ordered by the point in the patient journey where each one is seen, from the first website visit to the post-visit review request. The presenter builds every example for a fictional clinic, “Quillhaven Family Care”, in HeyGen’s Video Agent, and draws a clear compliance line: the videos carry logistics and general information, never medical advice. The source has no performance data; its value is the video list and where each one goes.
Key Takeaways
- Premise: “Before a new patient ever books an appointment, they’ve already looked you up and decided whether you feel like the right place.” Videos you make replace “whatever happens to be out there”.
- Build method (HeyGen Video Agent): tell it what the video is for, paste the words you want said, answer its questions about the look and the presenter, and it builds the video “while you go and work on something else”.
- Compliance comes first. Every video must be “general information only, not medical advice” and go through whoever reviews your practice’s materials before publishing. “HeyGen can help you make the video, but the compliance is on you.”
- Keep clinical content with the provider. The prep example says to follow the provider’s instructions and call if unsure; the presenter: “I just want you to make sure the medical part stays with you. This video just handles the repeatable logistics.”
- Cadence: you don’t need all seven this week. Start with the welcome video, “because that one works for you every single time somebody looks you up”, then add one a week.
- The review ask is built into the journey. The last video goes in the post-visit email with “one small ask”, on the reasoning that “most people are happy to leave a review. You just got to ask them.”
The seven videos, in journey order
| # | Video | Content | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Welcome (~30 s) | Who you are, who you see, how to book | Top of the website and “anywhere else someone online might find you” |
| 2 | Front-desk FAQ | One question, one answer (“Do you take my insurance?”), then a series: telehealth, parking, bringing kids | Not specified in the source |
| 3 | What to expect at the first visit | Forms (portal or paper), what happens on arrival | Appointment-confirmation emails, “the exact moment” people wonder what to bring |
| 4 | Prep (lab visit, procedure day) | What to bring, who to call; logistics only | Reminder text the day before |
| 5 | Service explainer (e.g. telehealth) | Three simple steps; “built in one sitting from a four-line brief” | Services page and patient portal |
| 6 | Seasonal reminder (e.g. flu shots) | How to book, where walk-in times are posted | Not specified in the source |
| 7 | Thank-you + review ask | Visit summary is in the portal; please leave a review | Post-visit follow-up email |
Try It
- Write the welcome script first: who you are, who you see, how to book, about 30 seconds. Generate it and put it at the top of the website.
- Map the other six to messages you already send — the confirmation email, the day-before reminder text, the post-visit follow-up — so each video rides an existing touchpoint rather than a new channel.
- Start the FAQ series from your front desk’s most common question and add one question per video.
- Keep prep and reminder videos to logistics. Point anything clinical back to the provider, add the “general information only, not medical advice” disclaimer, and route every script through your practice’s review process.
- Add one video a week after the welcome video.
Open Questions
- No performance data. The source gives no numbers on bookings, show rates, review volume or watch time, so the sequence is a recommendation, not a tested result. The video marketing measurement loop describes how to measure this yourself.
- AI-presenter disclosure. Whether patients must be told the presenter is an AI avatar, and any healthcare-specific rules, are not addressed. The presenter’s own intro says the “doctor” is not real and was made in HeyGen, but the sample clinic scripts include no AI disclosure.
- Placements for videos 2 and 6 are not stated.
- Presenter and relationship to HeyGen are unconfirmed; the closing call to action suggests a HeyGen-produced video.
